Yaesu FTM-100DE C4FM FDMA / FM VHF/UHF Dual Band Transceiver C4FM FDMA / FM 144/430 MHz DUAL BAND TRANSCEIVERIntroducing
the FTM-100DE VHF/UHF Dual Band Transceiver, an exciting new way to
enter into Yaesu's revolutionary world of System Fusion C4FM Digital
Communications. The FTM-100DR's single receiver design provides 50
solid Watts of RF power on both the 144 and 430 MHz amateur radio bands,
while still being host to a feature packed suite of both C4FM Digital
and FM Analog communications capabilities that fit every amateur radio
operators needs.

Designed
with simplicity and convenience in mind, the FTM-100DR's highly visible
and compact 160 x 40 pixel graphical dot-matrix display can be detached
from the body of the radio and remotely mounted providing even more
installation options. This vibrant white LED backlit display provides a
clear and crisp view of the radios current operating status, not limited
to GPS Information, SD Card status, and Operating band name/memory
channel tags (Alphanumeric).

The
FTM-100DR operates in three (3) Digital modes and an (1) Analog mode to
suit your needs. This feature packed radio is our first Digital Mobile
equipped with our new Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function that
instantly detects the received signal mode. The AMS function enables
stress-free operation and eliminates the need to manually switch between
communication modes.

·V/D Mode (Voice/Data simultaneous communication mode)The
digital voice signal is transmitted in one half of the band width.
Simultaneously the other half of the 12.5 kHz band width channel is used
for error correction of the voice signal and other data. By
incorporating powerful error correction technology developed for
professional communication devices, effective error correction codes
provide the advantage of fewer interruptions to conversations. The Clear
Voice technology developed for the C4FM FDMA Digital mode provides the
ideal balance of error correction and sound quality.

·Data FR mode (High Speed Data Communication Mode)This
high-speed data communication mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth for
data communication. The transceiver automatically switches to Data FR
mode when transmitting snapshot pictures, and can be used to transmit
large quantities of data at high speed.

·Analog FM modeAnalog
FM is effective when weak signal strength causes audio drop out in the
digital mode, and enables communication up to the borderline of the
noise level. Also the use of established Yaesu low power circuit designs
provides greater efficiency than the digital modes. This is the
typical FM mode used by most typical non-digital handhelds and VHF/UHF
mobiles.

Digital and Analog FM CapableThere
is no reason to lose communications with friends who have not yet
chosen to transition to Digital. The FTM-100DR performs perfectly well
using both Analog FM and C4FM Digital, and can flawlessly integrate into
either operating environment.Rugged Powerful TransmitterTransmitter RF Power Output: 50 W / 20 W / 5 W. Modulation Type: F1D, F2D, F3E: Variable Reactance Modulation, F7W: 4FSK (C4FM)High Audio Output PowerLoud 3 Watt Audio Outputs with the internal speaker. 8 Watt output using Optional External Speaker (MLS-200-M10)Large BUSY/TX IndicatorTwo
large and vibrant multi-colored BUSY/TX LED status indicators clearly
show the current operating state of the transceiver, turning Green when
receiving an analog FM transmission and blue when receiving digital.

• The top half lights green when in the BUSY/RX state. • The top half lights red during transmission. • The bottom half lights blue while receiving or transmitting digital voice signals. • The bottom half lights white while receiving or transmitting digital data. •
The bottom half blinks blue when receiving the signal containing a
different TONE frequency or DCS code other than the one configured.GPS IncludedBuilt-in
66 channel GPS receiver and antenna provides location, time, direction
and APRS® information. A GPS Logging Function is included.APRS® Included1200/9600bps APRS® (Automatic Packet Reporting System) Data communication capability included.Hands-free OperationLaw
abiding (where required) Hands-free operation is available by using the
optional wireless Bluetooth® unit and headset. Optional Bluetooth® unit
(BU-2) required.Voice Guide and Recording FunctionOptional
Voice Guide Unit (FVS-2) announces your current operating frequency,
band change and APRS® messages. You can record up to 5 minutes of
received signals, or continuously record the last 30 seconds of received
audio.Digital Group Monitor (GM) FunctionThe digital GM
function automatically checks whether members registered to a group are
within the communication range, and displays information such as the
distance and orientation for each call sign on the screen. This useful
function not only enables you to see which friends are within
communication range, it also permits you to see at a glance where all
group members are located. Additionally, this function can be used to
send messages and image data between group members. The Digital Group
Monitor applies to direct communications between members; it is not
applicable through a repeater.

This
is valuable feature for public service group activites, Search &
Rescue operations, and any number of other uses limited only by your
imagination!Frequency RangeReceive 108 - 137 MHz (Air Band) 137 - 174 MHz (144 MHz HAM) 174 - 400 MHz (GEN1) 400 - 480 MHz (430 MHz HAM) 480 - 999.99 MHz (GEN2) Cellular Blocked (North American model) Transmitter 144 - 146 MHz or 144 - 148 MHz 430 - 440 MHz or 430 - 450 MHzOther Useful Features- 500 Memory Channels for each A(Main) band and B(Sub) band - Storage of the Memory channels and personal settings on an inserted micro SD card - By using a micro SD card, it is easy to copy and transfer the radio data to other compatible radios - Versatile Scanning Receiver for Monitoring Enthusiasts (VFO Scan, Memory Scan, etc) - Digital Clock - Timer function: Event timer with Lap or count down functions - Receives and Forwards Digital Image Data (Does not support MH85A11U Camera Microphone).*Trademarks*
